Interesting write up. I didn't know there were aircraft reviews in the FT. Does this mean we can expect Clarkson type reviews in the future? Top Blade?
As for the Rule 5 comment, folk do tend to jump onto these kinds of things. I would expect any demo flight to a journalist on a paper like the FT, who, it appears is also a pilot, is likely to be a tad more than legal. Journalistic licence perhaps..?
Do you suppose that there will eventually by a pilot-Stig test pilot? We could be onto a winner here...
